Double Shock and Awe!

I’ve been nominated for the the Kreativ Blogger Award, twice!  Huge thanks to EvaRieder and BocaFrau for nominating me. This is my first time being nominated for any blogger award.

Eva is a fellow SheWrites member, and is an author of both fantasy and contemporary/mainstream fiction and has an Anthology of her work being published around May 16th. Congratulations Eva!

BocaFrua has some very breath taking pictures on her site. Be sure to check them out.

As per the Kreativ Blogger Award rules I must:

A: thank my nominator and provide a link to their blog.

B: list seven things that readers might find interesting about me.

C: nominate seven other bloggers.

So without further ado…

Seven things readers might find interesting about me:

One: I am a licensed Black Dragon Kung Fu Instructor. I adore martial arts, always have. It’s a fabulous way to keep in shape and spend quality time with those you love. It’s a wonderful way to teach young children self discipline as well.

Two: I’m the oldest of four. From Nine years on I took care of the house and kids, so I thought I was more than prepared when I became a mom. Boy was that silly of me. It’s a whole new ball game when they are fully your children. I adore every minute of motherhood, even the ones that make me want to pull my hair out. *grin*

Three: My first job was as a waitress. Ah fun times…

Four: I wanted to be a singer. The whole time growing up I wanted to become a country singer. I always sang and read, never wrote. Yet here I am a writer. Strange how life changes as you grow up, huh?

Five: In the first quarter of the 9th grade, I was the only person in an entire class that  could tell the teacher the difference between a catfish and a hard-head {both are types of fish} and the entire school lived next to the ocean.

Six: A lot of people, especially teenagers assume I’m a teenager when they first talk to me. Does that mean I act younger than my real age? *grin*

Seven: I was home-schooled from 9th grade to 12th grade. After graduating I took two and a half years of ITT tech courses for computer repair, and no, I’m not a repair tech. I’m a writer, that is my true passion.

Here are seven fabulous blogs I chose to nominate and think you should check out:

TheBookShelfMuse: Angela and Becca have helped so many writers, especially the new ones, in too many ways to count. I visit their blog every time they update. You should check it out. You won’t be sorry.

NovelGirl: I have learned a lot following Rebecca. “books, writing advice, and author interviews” only scratches the surface of what she provides her readers with.

Peggy Isaacs: Her “What I Learned This Week” section is both informative and often time amusing.

Krist D. Ball: This lady is inspiring. She’s a Fantasy and Sci-fi writer, who in my humble opinion is a mater at world-building.

Jenny Hansen: This lady covers a variety of subjects from writing tips, to crafting tips. Very enlightening.

Novels from the Ground Up: The title is pretty self explanatory. This site covers various aspects of crafting a novel brick by brick from the ground up.

Changes of Man: He’s a real “down to earth” dad, trying to do the best he can with what life has thrown at him. His posts drive home just how much each of us struggle with the way the economy is, yet he’s found a productive way to weather the storm.

To wrap up, I’d like to thank all of my wonderful readers. Your comments keep me going. I’d also like to once again thank Eva and Boca for nominating me. Such an honor.

P.S. I’m not sure on how the rules work for double nominations. So if I still need to list more facts about me and blogs to nominate, please be sure to tell me. Thanks.
